Everyone is downvoting you but I agree. I don’t want the crappy cameras rumored for the Air, but I do want a reasonably sized Pro. These things are getting awkward for normal pants pockets…
Thanks! I was actually asking a question which is my I ended with a question mark. I admitted this was confusing to me. The downvotes tell me nothing. I was hoping to hear what other people thought.
Apple proved that with iOS 7.
We went from an absolutely beautiful and useful UI to one that was fugly and less useful.
And then Google copied the fugly, they already had less useful.
“nm” is just a marketing term. It does not reflect the size of the transistor gate length, distance between fins or any single measurable dimension.
I have plenty of good looking friends who are kind, loyal, and supportive.

"But since they aren't...". Exactly, they aren't. It is time to let it go, for the love of all that is good and decent.
So am I correct in thinking that existing MagSafe accessories will be incompatible? That would tick me right off.
This design deserves to be hidden in a case. Apple would be wise to push more colors than ever in their official cases.
I might actually skip this year. Or maybe switch to the Air if it really picks up ProMotion / 120hz.
Agreed, I had the same question because IMO the current 16PM battery is fine. The only reasons I can think of for adding battery capacity are 1) because they coincidentally can, because tech improved and/or they had extra available space and 2) because perhaps AI, the OS and other demands require more battery capacity.
The article suggested that existing devices would work. My guess is we need to wait and see.
Usually I might agree, but considering I don’t have many apps installed and don’t use things like FB, Instagram, TikTok and what not and still see my battery dead after a day of not using the phone, I don’t.
I’ve reset this phone many times but it continues to be bad.
Interestingly, my phone uses less energy when playing the 2D game Blockheads.
Having the app open for 5 hours straight consumes less battery then not using the phone at all some days, which is very strange.
Yeah, using anything AI on my 15 Pro the thing gets warm and burns through battery very fast.
My time with pre-flat iOS was somewhat limited. I had an iPod touch first and forth gen, running iOS 3 and 6 respectively, for a couple of years. I didn’t have any experience with anything else, until someone in my family got the iPhone 5s with iOS 8. I got handed the iPhone 4 with iOS 7, and it actually made many things better. At least the control center did. Compared to iOS 3, 7 was a godsend, to me.
Those are good thoughts. I wondered if they would actually lose battery space with the addition of the new cooling system. I haven’t seen any discussions about how much space that might take.
I'll never understand the camera bump AND then the lens bump. If you need a bump fine, but make it large enough to contain the lenses too for a smoother back.
It's a way of branding. They do it so people notice them everywhere and hopefully purchase one themselves...
...which is exactly why I don't understand their doing away with the square in the corner and making it this thick bump across the width even though the lenses are still stuck in the same place as before and the bigger bump serves no purpose.
The Google Pixels have a bump across the width as well but the cameras are spaced out across that entire bump so it's thinner and makes sense from an engineering point of view and the Pixel design language is easily recognizeable just like iPhones.
Haha. They should just make a case that looks like a giant, old iPhone XFrankly, it's quite ugly.
I hope someone will offer a silicone case that will cover more evenly the phone:
I am looking forward to the A19 Pro chip. But a thicker battery seems to be problematic with the new design. I think what we have today is alright for iPhones.
Cheaper and lighter. Titanium is much stronger than aluminum but still slightly heavier. It's slightly stronger than SS but much lighter.
Seems like they want/need to offset the bigger batteries weight and the cost savings is just cream on top.The phones started to get too heavy with the 13/14 Pro Max and I think they are trying to avoid that. Titanium just got too heavy with the new design.
One of the massive upgrades (for me) from the 13 PM to the 15PM was the slight reduction in weight. You wouldn't think it matters but those 20 grams do, doesn't pull down your pants nearly as much.
How they'll spin it as a -pro- feature will be interesting after they hyped titanium so much since the 15.
If the Aluminum is lighter than the 15/16PM i'll be extremely happy even though it's a downgrade in terms of materials. If its the same weight I will be disappointed if the battery life isn't significantly better.
I love big phones but i'm sick of them getting heavier and heavier.
